Somehow, I don't like tiles as much in this format. Love them in all their glory on a tablet, but not so much on a pc.

On my pc I only have 4 tiles that show good notification data. They act more like mini windows than shortcuts.

I prefer an application list over tiles for my launch shortcuts on the big screen. The app list on the search screen is perfect, but i prefer to not have to type up to 3 letters to find my app. Basically, the location of app shortcuts on the search
screen move around too much.
